Warhurst joins from Eurotel, the Halifax-based telecoms company acquired by Daisy in August last year. She has worked in HR for the past 15 years, holding senior management roles in manufacturing and telecoms - at Weir Group and BT - and also in the health and safety sectors.

Commenting on her new appointment, Warhurst said: "I see the growth potential at Daisy as a fantastic opportunity, not just for myself but also for the people that will be joining us as we recruit more and continue to expand, both organically and through acquisition. This is an exciting business to be joining and we have the prospect of developing the business and the many individuals who work within it."
